Houseboat fleet maki

KELOWNA, B.C. (CP) — When Okanagan Houseboats
Ltd. announced plans to launch a fleet of 13-metre boats on
Okanagan Lake this simmer, company officials expected to

are also concerned the plan is just the first of

many being prepared for the lake.
Okanagan Houseboats built a $6-million marina for up
to 100 charter boats on land owned by Ron Derrickson, chief

Last week, Okanagan “Houseboats said it had
surrendered its lease back to Derrickson because the
company had arene itself too thin to handle both boat
construction and charters.

But the company continues to hold leases on about 50
houseboats sold to investors and leased back for rental to
vacationers.

Opponents say there are no regulations governing the
number of houseboats allowed on the lake or how they may
be used, and self-policing by the compeny is not the answer

Wayne Devins, p of O

North Okanagan, has called for government regulation and

says the houseboats will be the safest craft on the lake,
dio- ipped and able to with d a 60-degree list.

But a committee of residents wants a freeze on new
developments until a body is set up to manage use of the
lake.

“Right now, nobody has to take responsibility and I feel
there will be a lot of regret over this,” says spokesman
James Ryder.

WORKING WIVES
REASON RICH
GET RICHER

OTTAWA (CP) — Working wives are one of the
reasons many of the rich are getting richer.
The top one per cent of Canadian families earned an
average income of $143,061 in 1980 or $212,000 in today's
dollars, five times the national average, according to a
Statistics Canada study conducted last year.
And while nearly 50 per cent of the income of the
country’s 63,250 highest-income families came from
self-employment and investment, a third of the families
would not have been in the highest income bracket had
the wife not worked.
Adjusting 1980 dollar figures into today’s dollars, the
average income of wives in high-income families was
$33,452 compared with $9,207 for wives in all families.
The study noted the increasing participation of wives

im the work force between 1970 and 1980 was more
among the well-to-do.

In 1970 only 36 per cent of the wives in the
highest-income families worked, compared with 44 per
cent in all families. But, by 1960, 59 per cent of wives in
high-income families worked, compared with 56 per cent
in all families.
The study was based on 1981 census data, but Abdul
Rashid, author of the study, said Tuesday the general
characteristics of high-income families would still apply.
The study also found “work activity in most
high-income families continued well beyond the normal
age of retirement.”
“The impact of high-income families on the rest of

" Rashid noted in his study.

They tend to earn more than they need to live on and
their savings are an important source of investment and
thus of economic stimulation. The heads of these families
often hold important positions in society and may be
involved in decisions which have a direct impact on a
large segment of society.

Some of the characteristics found by the study are:

@ One-third of high-income families were headed by a
doctor or business executive. Other rich include lawyers,
dentists, stockbrokers and farmers.

e@ One in 20 rich families collected unemployment
insurance.

e Eighty per cent earned investment income of on
average more than $40,000 a year, 10 times that of the
average investor.

© The rich have bigger homes, with nine rooms and
an average price tag of $303,687, compared with six-room
homes worth about $111,105 for the average Canadian.

© The rich tend to be better-educated, with about
half the families having at least one spouse with a
university degree compared with 14 per cent for all
families.

But high-income families have more going for them
than a good education and well-paying jobs, Rashid notes.

“Birth and initial circumstances of an individual are
important factors towards one’s economic position.”

And they “control a disproportionately large share of
income generating assets.

“This factor, along with their savings out of current
income, ensures a continuing and growing stream of large
income for these families,” Rashid writes.

In other words, the rich are getting richer and will
continue to do so.

Paper capacity

MONTREAL (CP) —
Canadian capacity to manu
facture paper and board is
forecast to rise to 17.6 million
tonnes in 1988, a seven-per
cent jump over the 1985
level, the Canadian Pulp and
Paper Association reported.

Capacity to manufacture
pulp is expected to reach 24.9
million tonnes in 1988, an in.
crease of 4.3 per cent over
1985, the report said.

Association president
Howard Hart said in a state
ment that the expected in-
creases result from invest-
ments after a period of poor
earnings.

The report predicted a
31-per-cent inctease in capa
city in printing and writing
paper.

The growth in this sector
“reflects continuing strong
demand for these higher
value grades, evidence of
producers’ focus on new
market opportunities and on
products which yield a-great
er return on investment,”
Hart said.

Capacity to manufacture
newsprint and paperboard
grades such as container
board and boxboard is ex
pected to show modest
growth of three per cent

says he will review public concerns but he sees the
houseboat development as an opportunity.

“If it is ecologically sound, those who can afford it the
least should have some opportunity to enjoy the lake along
with those who live on it and those who own boats now,”
says the premier. .

“As a lakeshore owner, let me tell you, the biggest
problem isn't houseboats, which we already have on the
lake. It's high-speed, noisy boats.”

Local and regional valley politicians are looking to
extensive new shore-zone plans to ensure they control what

happens on their community waterfronts. Some are calling
for a single regulatory body to control the lake.

Okanagan residents who fear the influx of houseboats r HOMEGOODS

point to problems on Shuswap Lake in the southern Interior
during the last four years.

Residents there have criticized houseboaters for being
rowdy, mooring at private docks, dumping garbage on

beaches and emptying waste water into the lake.
The estimated 350 houseboats using the lake have taken
over, they say
Any problems on the smaller Okanagan Lake will be
more serious. Much of its shoreline contains private homes, “Drive a Little to Save a Lot”
